hortilux

So nowhere in Canada can I find a Silver Series ballast, the recommended ballast to run a Horilux Ceramic HPS bulb. Also no luck in finding a US retailer who will ship one north, so I am wondering if anyone has successfully run these bulbs on a normal electronic ballast? The only thing available...

All the same soil and same strain. And up until yesterday same nutes. I was forced to try a nitro boost on the 5 that are yellowing. Tomorrow I will rotate. Just wondering what are the chances I got a bad bulb they are brand new this grow. All 10 are heading into week 5 flower. All buds are...

So I have a friend that recommended me to this forum, and that I could get some great advise form this site. So I will tell you what i'm currently running and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I started off with 10 feminized seeds from Green House Seeds 5 Exodus Cheese and 5 Afgooey...

Where on the bulb is the wattage found? I bought a 1000w bulb w/out box and wanted to double-check the wattage before firing it up. I looked at the base of the bulb but didn't find the wattage anywhere. Wtf.

I have an Ultra Sun MH bulb, I was going to use for veg and switch to my hortilux for flower. I am open to opinions on just scrapping the cheap MH and just running the hortilux the whole way through. What chall think? Ditch the MH or stick with it. Thanks in advance

Alright people, after researching EYE hortilux bulbs, I've found that each test that seems to be done on the Super HPS bulb is always with a 50hz-60hz ballast...and since the Super HPS bulb is geared for 120hz, there is no question why people like hating on these bulbs! But what if you got to...

Hi there, I'm finding it difficult to find any online forums which discuss this exact topic. I just bought a pair of SolisTek Matrix 1000w digital ballasts and WAS going to run them with Hortilux lamps (600w for veg and 1000w for flower). That was until someone mentioned Hortilux's don't...

Looking at the various uv and limited spectra t5 lamps (denoted by "pure" or a nm number like 430), and 10000k / 14000k "finishing" lamps. @RM3 do you have any experience with these or other options like repti-sun? Trying to balance quality, quantity and cost. Thinking about 4-6 2ft tubes to...

400w Veg tent, 600W flowering tent, 100% connoisseur

Running one lamp for around 5-6 ladies, heavier indicas. Not sure if it's worth running the dual arc for veg and beginning of flower then switch to HPS, or just take a little stretching with only HPS. I've looked for threads but can't find anything very recent. If it helps I'm -running dimmable...
